Comment:

 Replying to [comment:4 karsten]:
 > asn just found that BridgeDB might only parse `cached-extrainfo.new` and
 ignores `cached-extrainfo`.  That would explain the pattern above where
 bridges with `"transport"` lines go up for two hours and then start at
 zero again.

 I have a patch for this in branch bug9264_extrainfo_files
 https://github.com/sysrqb/bridgedb.git

 It's pretty simple.
